Well who pays the expenses while they sit out for a year? Same with AT, there still has to be employees, unless they were all old retired volunteers. How do you pay people with no sales?? New product creates sales, regardless of the economic times. In my website business, new product always creates ...

Perhaps they made a deal to stay on the bench for a year with other companies? A more profitable deal:)

The rumor has always been Trumpter was in a deal with Admiral on the Dauntless. My late Dad told me this years ago, and he was a award winning modeler and went to all the shows, plus he had over 10,000 hours volunteering at the pensacola naval air station in the reserach department.

It's not the price alone, its the fact of the doubled price combined with a repaint scheme. The artwork should not be a $50 premium. Nobody would be complaining if it was a new release. Well maybe someone would. I spent the money on a F-14, not that I really desired a F-14, but it is new and likely ...

I have enough P-51D's. Will wait until some company makes a B or C model that doesn't cost $$$$. Even $100 is too steep for a D, that's, what doubled in less than 2 years?

your hanging out at the wrong part of town... I went to one club and saw a pregnant girl dancing...I left.

Why hasn't the skyworks guy done up a A-10...seems to me that would be a no brainer for his business.

I'm sick of hearing about A-10's it's like a broken record...no one is listening. The companies don't listen to joe blow fans...who was demanding F-14's?

A F-4 should have been done first instead of a F-14, lots of fans wanting one of those.

So detail wise the P-38 is identical to earlier 21c offerings, only the box packaging is different? So weathering and paint was done by same department as F-14, you think? Or was Qui Qnann Joe-lee Paint Master on leave when F-14's rolled into the tube? Collector packaging is a lot different than ret...

I believe the tankzone uk price is 178 pounds, which was around $290 I guess the 5 channel radio is spiking the cost, I sent an email to their site but no response now, as I really don't want to order from overseas, but I don't want to miss out on a 1/16 r/c vehicle.

That's not the way to conduct business. Major market brands defend their images and logos very aggressively.

Now, would they care about a few model planes being repainted? Who knows? You could always inquire first.
